the Young Soul* bond through lack/have, the Old Souls* bond through have/have

There’s a key difference to the way the Young Soul* and the Old Souls* bond in families, friendship, business, and love. While the Young Soul* bond through lack/have, the Old Souls* bond through have/have. The Old Souls*, as the name suggests, want to find someone who they feel can match what they bring onto the table; they want their equal. To the Young Soul*, everything makes sense similar to what the Old Souls* understand being purely a business bonding thing: if you know X, I’ll know Y, and now, our business functions well. Oddly, the Young Soul* look for equal business partners, so that nobody gets to boss others around… The Old Souls* feel the same about their personal relationships; equals so nobody gets to boss the other around.

the Young Soul* try to patch up weaknesses

the Young Soul* don’t understand how personal relationships would work without a lack/have dynamics. They also need to establish the boss in the relationship, but that’s beside the point of this post. They see pairings like rich/poor, wise/stupid, beautiful/wealthy, being understandable pairings.

Curiously, in business the Young Soul* don’t employ this same strategy where it would actually make sense from a Old Souls* perspective. They may have two people who have the same failings and the same strengths and refuse to hire anyone to do the work neither one can’t do, and simply insist that it doesn’t matter. The Old Souls* feel that while that’s anyone’s choice in personal relationships, where such things as success don’t matter, the Young Soul* take personal relationships as a competition and business, to the Young Soul* is much more a hobby than anything else. (Hence the reason the Young Soul* businesses fail a lot.)

the Old Souls* try to find people to relate to

the Old Souls* try to be self-sufficient in every way they deem worthwhile as a task to complete. It is not at all uncommon that the Old Souls* don’t know how to cook or clean, or are just bad at it, they can be unpractical and scatty, while they excel in intellectual or artistic areas of life.

Still, the Old Souls* are relatively happy living alone and single lives and they are not at all keen on settling down with someone who cannot match them, particularly on the intellectual level. In business, however, they want to put together a team with very specialized skills, to maximize the expertise of the team. A Young Soul* would ask: how do you know who is the boss? the Old Souls* would say: “Whoever owns the company, but at the same time, a boss is not necessary if you all work as equals.” the Young Soul* mind would be blown by the suggestion, that a bunch of people with very different skill sets could consider each other equal. “BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE OF YOU IS THE BEST?!”

An the Old Souls* would say, again: “We’re all the best at what we are all hired to do. We trust each person to handle the area they are hired to do, and we simply need to understand what each of us has been hired to do so we can work together. We know enough of everyone’s job to know why they’re doing what they’re doing, but they’re the one doing it because they are the best talent we could hire for that position. We trust them to do their job properly because we hired that person BECAUSE they would do better job in that position than what the owner of the company would do.”

And the Young Soul* would feel the horror creep in: “BETTER THAN THE BOSS AT IT?! But they can take over the company!” “We have a weakness in business that we tend to trust people. But being BETTER at something doesn’t mean you will be any good at actually running the company. Being amazing at graphic design doesn’t mean you’ll be amazing in business.”

(the Young Soul* do fear intelligence more than anything in this world. They cannot see it as anything but a tool for evil plans.)
